52 52  ===== Identifying by Hostname =====
53 53  
54 -The Crestron Zūm App is used to configure the internal logic of Zūm Wired rooms. This internal logic determines the room behavior when ZUMNET-JBOXs are used in standalone applications or if communication to the processor is lost. Even on SHOWRUNNER™ jobs with a central program running the lighting controls, it is best practice to configure the internal logic to match as closely as possible the SHOWRUNNER™ logic in order to minimize disruption to end-users in the event of a processor or network failure.
53 +Oftentimes,
55 55  
56 -In addition to configuring default room logic, the Crestron Zūm App can be used to change the hostname of the ZUMNET-JBOX for each room. By default, the hostname for a ZUMNET-JBOX is the model followed by the last six digits of the MAC address, e.g. "ZUMNET-JBOX-16A-LV-F2DA94". If you or the electrical contractor already intend to configure the internal logic each ZUMNET-JBOX, it would be a good idea to also change the hostname to something more identifiable.
55 +If the electrical contractor has provided a list of which serial numbers/MAC addresses belong to each installed ZUMNET-JBOX, then it is relatively easy to identify which ZUMNET-JBOX should get which IP-ID:
57 57  
58 -To change the hostname using the Crestron Zūm App:
57 +* Connect to the lighting network and open Device Discovery Tool in Toolbox
58 +* The Device Discovery tool will automatically report how many Ethernet devices have been discovered
59 +** Verify that the correct number of Ethernet devices have been discovered, including any TSWs, GLPACs, DIN-CENCN-2s, etc.
60 +** Note that only Crestron devices will appear in Device Discovery; non-Crestron devices (such as Pharos or Enttec DMX controllers) will not appear in Device Discovery Tool
61 +* Click the "Export..." button below the list of discovered devices
62 +** If this button says "Address Book", then Toolbox needs to be updated
63 +* Click the Write Device Summary button and save the DeviceSummary.txt to your computer

61 -* Tap "Room Settings"
62 -* Tap "Network"
63 -* Tap the Hostname field and edit the Hostname
64 -* Scroll to the bottom of the page and tap "Save settings"
65 -* Tap "OK" to apply the changes and reboot the ZUMNET-JBOX

68 -If all hostnames have been set, then it becomes very easy to know which DHCP assigned IP address is associated with each room using the Device Summary. Generate a Device Summary with the new hostnames and proceed to IP configuration.
69 -
70 -===== Identifying by Serial Number or MAC Address =====
71 -
72 -Both the serial number and MAC address are printed onto each ZUMNET-JBOX. Just like with Cresnet jobs, it is good practice for the electrical contractor to record serial numbers as they install devices. It is also good to collect the MAC addresses, but it is not necessary since Device Summary will have both the serial number and MAC address.
73 -
74 -If the electrical contractor has provided a list of which serial numbers/MAC addresses belong to each installed ZUMNET-JBOX, then generate a Device Summary and proceed to IP configuration.

76 -===== Identifying through Network Device Tree View =====
77 -
78 78  If the electrical contractor has not provided a list of which serial numbers/MAC addresses belong to each installed ZUMNET-JBOX, then it is necessary to connect to each ZUMNET-JBOX individually and identify them through Toolbox. Putting a device into identify will stop any programs running on a processor, and taking a device out of identify mode will restart the program. This starting/stopping of the program can be time consuming when a large number of devices are being identified, so it may be a good idea to run the ##stopprog -p:01## command on the processor prior to identifying devices. Once all the devices are identified, run the ##progreset## command to resume the program.

113 -Zūm Mode (also known as App Mode) is the default setting for new ZUMNET-JBOXs, and allows them to be configured from the Crestron Zūm App. If a ZUMNET-JBOX is put into Cresnet mode, it will no longer be able to be configured using the Crestron Zūm App and all internal logic will be disabled. Generally, Cresnet mode is only required if non-Zūm Link devices are connected to the ZUMNET-JBOX (e.g. a GL-EXP-DIMU-CN phase dimmer or C2N-CBD-P Cameo keypads) or if certain SHOWRUNNER™ features are required (such as changing the dimming response curve).
